The Lamb of God^(A)

²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! ^(B)The Lamb of God ^(C)who takes away the sin of the world!

³⁶ And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, ^(A)“Behold the Lamb of God!”

²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ^(A)‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ^(B)‘I have been sent before Him.’ ^29 (C)He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but ^(D)the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. ^30 (E)He must increase, but I must decrease. ^31 (F)He who comes from above ^(G)is above all; ^(H)he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. ^(I)He who comes from heaven is above all. ³² And ^(J)what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. ³³ He who has received His testimony ^(K)has certified that God is true. ^34 (L)For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit ^(M)by measure. ^35 (N)The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. ^36 (O)He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the ^(P)wrath of God abides on him.”

³³ You have sent to John, ^(A)and he has borne witness to the truth.
